- 2:58Speaker 3: that beautiful yellow park that I did I did think
- 3:02Speaker 3: when I logged on here about eleven minutes before the
- 3:04Speaker 3: show began, I thought there was a sick possibility Arman
- 3:08Speaker 3: was not going to be in his CBS Olympics skier.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Yeah, here he is here.
- 3:13Speaker 4: He is ready to save that.
- 3:15Speaker 8: What's going on? Good morning, Billy.
- 3:17Speaker 5: I don't know when the sun rise is there, but
- 3:18Speaker 5: I think it's sooner than us because of the time
- 3:21Speaker 5: zone situation. So thanks for joining today and I'm glad
- 3:24Speaker 5: to hear you. Even though you're in parts unknown. I
- 3:27Speaker 5: almost I will admit, I nearly forgot today in my
- 3:32Speaker 5: haste of getting things together and all the you know,
- 3:35Speaker 5: it was a buffet of great audio for kicks to
- 3:38Speaker 5: the balls as I settled on too. But we'll get
- 3:41Speaker 5: to that later. We have Hunter here now. I in
- 3:45Speaker 5: my haste I nearly forgot. But but thank goodness, just
- 3:49Speaker 5: like you know, just the Olympics got gods, all the
- 3:52Speaker 5: Greek gods of the Olympics, right, Zeus and Atlas and
- 3:56Speaker 5: all those guys. They spoke to me at four fifty
- 4:00Speaker 5: seven and said, don't forget to put on the jacket,
- 4:03Speaker 5: because well then they will accuse you duck in the smoke,
- 4:05Speaker 5: and I.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Can't have that, billy on a Monday.
- 4:07Speaker 4: You are right, we would have accused you of ducky
- 4:09Speaker 4: the smoke.
- 4:10Speaker 3: Maybe it was the ghost of those great gods past
- 4:14Speaker 3: or just you know, big Vegas Pete.
- 4:16Speaker 4: Sitting in your ear saying, hey.
- 4:18Speaker 8: You know you want to you know you want to
- 4:20Speaker 8: know I always you want to, Yeah.
- 4:22Speaker 3: You always want to, and especially on a gold medal Monday.
- 4:25Speaker 3: We'll get to that coming up momentarily. But he also
- 4:27Speaker 3: let it slip. He also let it slide. We have
- 4:30Speaker 3: Big Voice Guy in amongst us.
- 4:33Speaker 4: As for the.
- 4:34Speaker 3: Next week, we are going to be joined live and
- 4:37Speaker 3: in living color by the great Hunter bomb Guard. Good morning, Hunter,
- 4:41Speaker 3: how you feeling this morning?
- 4:42Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm feeling good. I was talking with Armann
- 4:45Speaker 2: here before the show. I believe that this is the
- 4:48Speaker 2: first time I have done the morning show here at
- 4:53Speaker 2: at this wonderful iHeart complex. I don't think I've done
- 4:57Speaker 2: early events like I've done, you know, were events like
- 5:01Speaker 2: the pancake breakfast last year, right that was six am.
- 5:03Speaker 2: That's like I've done events opening day early at the ballpark.
- 5:07Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever you know, produced or hosted
- 5:09Speaker 2: in the morning like as well, especially at five. I
- 5:12Speaker 2: don't know if I've ever done radio at five am.
- 5:13Speaker 2: So this is I am so ready to rock them
- 5:16Speaker 2: well Wisconsin.
- 5:18Speaker 3: Yeah, congratulations. I don't I don't know that it's a
- 5:21Speaker 3: great thing. I don't know that it's the greatest thing. However,
- 5:24Speaker 3: it is our fun little patch of heaven, and frankly, yeah,
- 5:27Speaker 3: starting starting to really enjoy it now. I'll tell you this,
- 5:30Speaker 3: armand that doesn't surprise me for one exact reason. While
- 5:35Speaker 3: myself armand Sarian Hunter great producers, long before you even
- 5:41Speaker 3: grabbed a microphone and a parasonis and tried to produce
- 5:46Speaker 3: for Drew and KB and move around different places.
- 5:49Speaker 4: They were not letting.
- 5:50Speaker 3: You off that off that show, good reason, good reason, Armins.
- 5:54Speaker 3: They couldn't get rid of both of you and I
- 5:56Speaker 3: fast enough. At some particular points, we both wore on
- 5:58Speaker 3: are welcome. It's not surprised saying that Hunter did not
- 6:01Speaker 3: ever wear out his welcome. Instead, they're like, listen, if
- 6:04Speaker 3: indeed he goes away, we're gonna have some serious bro.
- 6:08Speaker 5: Hunter was entrenched and in in sconce from the first moment,
- 6:12Speaker 5: well as well he should have been. We were like
- 6:14Speaker 5: the traveling you know, the traveling nurses that travel around,
- 6:17Speaker 5: or with that, you know the nurses that travel around.
- 6:19Speaker 8: We're traveling roa trop billy and have worked all the shifts.
- 6:22Speaker 8: But it is great.
- 6:23Speaker 5: And I told Hunter, what a great smiling face to
- 6:26Speaker 5: see on this side of the clock. It was great
- 6:28Speaker 5: to welcome him to this side of the sun this morning.
- 6:30Speaker 5: And and I told him, you know, you're not in
- 6:33Speaker 5: the building today.
- 6:34Speaker 8: You're in a building, but in the radio.
- 6:36Speaker 2: You know, you're in the.
- 6:37Speaker 5: Audio building for everybody, but you're not in our building,
- 6:39Speaker 5: so he's gonna have to do the sunset kind of look,
- 6:42Speaker 5: you know, the one minute kind of sunset reset like
- 6:45Speaker 5: that Billy takes, you know, during a break to go
- 6:47Speaker 5: out there and just have one kind of moment with
- 6:48Speaker 5: himself to enjoy and enjoy the guya of the sunset
- 6:52Speaker 5: out there. Now, Billy, I'm assuming you're gonna have one
- 6:55Speaker 5: down there as well as the sun shines up brightly
- 6:58Speaker 5: on on some spring training baseball, not not the Cactus League,
- 7:01Speaker 5: but as you mentioned, the Grape for League, gonna check.
- 7:04Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, there's gonna be some well.
- 7:06Speaker 3: And and this show is going to feature a sunset
- 7:09Speaker 3: because as as I fully set the scene here, I'm
- 7:12Speaker 3: sitting out on my on like this little patio as
- 7:16Speaker 3: I'm visiting the snowbirding parents here. So in Florida, I
- 7:20Speaker 3: guess it's like there's certain laws, right, you gotta pay taxes,
- 7:24Speaker 3: You've got to have a patio with this like screened
- 7:26Speaker 3: in porch, right, so that that is just by law, seemingly.
- 7:30Speaker 3: So that's where I'm sitting out, which is currently pitch black.
- 7:33Speaker 3: So that's the fun part where I've got this place
- 7:36Speaker 3: nicely illuminated. Did have a nice little neon light here,
- 7:39Speaker 3: but didn't flashed through on the camera.
- 7:42Speaker 5: But it's probably good. It does look good and we
- 7:46Speaker 5: can read it. And sometimes if you turn it on,
- 7:47Speaker 5: they get washed out. Anyway, it was washed out.
- 7:50Speaker 4: It didn't work as well.
- 7:51Speaker 3: However, we're gonna learn together how this sunset here or
- 7:55Speaker 3: sunrise here on the Gulf of America.
- 8:00Speaker 2: Oh, however, sorry.
- 8:02Speaker 3: Sorry, down the hall, down the hall, I apologize, didn't
- 8:04Speaker 3: mean it.
- 8:05Speaker 4: By the Gulf of Mexico.
- 8:07Speaker 3: We're gonna be able to see how that feels. And
- 8:09Speaker 3: it's gonna be fun for us to bring about an
- 8:11Speaker 3: eighty degree or fifty degree temperature changes. Right now, I'm
- 8:14Speaker 3: already sweating it at seventy degrees, so it is gonna
- 8:17Speaker 3: be fun. However, I am concerned potentially about getting a noise.
- 8:23Speaker 4: Complaint right like in in the because you're different areas
- 8:27Speaker 4: that we've done shows. Arman.
- 8:29Speaker 3: Yeah, there could be an individual that says, hey, can
- 8:32Speaker 3: you shut this loud mouth up outside of my doorstep?
- 8:35Speaker 3: Who's talking about the NBA All Star Game was worth
- 8:38Speaker 3: watching last night? I don't care, and I don't know
- 8:40Speaker 3: why he's talking right now at six eight in the morning.
- 8:43Speaker 5: And don't aren't you like in a situation in which
- 8:46Speaker 5: it's sort of like a community like is so I
- 8:49Speaker 5: you know of the ra We know we had RA days, Billy,
- 8:52Speaker 5: mine lasted at longer than yours.
- 8:54Speaker 8: I think you a little bit, you know, a little
- 8:56Speaker 8: bit eight days for me, you got over a week.
- 8:58Speaker 1: Isn't ra.
- 8:59Speaker 2: I'm I didn't get hired. I interviewed and didn't get hired.
- 9:02Speaker 2: So both of you beat me.
- 9:03Speaker 4: Now, that's that's a pomination.
- 9:05Speaker 3: That is one of the worst flaws of UW Lacrosse
- 9:08Speaker 3: of all time.
- 9:10Speaker 4: They would not have hired a hunter bombguard to being alrighty.
- 9:12Speaker 5: That is something we're gonna have to investigate further and
- 9:14Speaker 5: talk about reward depth at some point this week, because,
- 9:18Speaker 5: as God is my witness, you will not find a
- 9:20Speaker 5: better RA candidate than a hunter bombguard.
- 9:22Speaker 8: You Q will not.
- 9:23Speaker 2: You will not in the eyes of the hiring committee
- 9:27Speaker 2: at UW Lacrosse of the twenty whatever it was eighteen.
- 9:30Speaker 5: I'll let the twenty eighteen hiring Residents all Association, whenever
- 9:35Speaker 5: they are the goons that year at UW Lacrosse know
- 9:39Speaker 5: they made a big mistake.
- 9:40Speaker 2: I was told I was high on the wait list
- 9:42Speaker 2: though I was. I went in. I went in and
- 9:44Speaker 2: fought it. I said, all right, give me a reason
- 9:45Speaker 2: why I wasn't hired. Oh, you're you're one of the
- 9:47Speaker 2: first ones. If someone you know drops out, I'm like, well,
- 9:50Speaker 2: where it's if.
- 9:51Speaker 3: Someone pulls a Bill schmid in eight days in whites
- 9:54Speaker 3: and resignation letter and slips it underneath the area director's
- 9:57Speaker 3: store at four in the morning.
- 9:58Speaker 2: Yeah, you're hired, right right, But that at that point
- 10:01Speaker 2: I'm already signed into apartment. Anyway, It's a whole deal,
- 10:03Speaker 2: you know.
- 10:03Speaker 5: So you know that is that does happen though sometimes,
- 10:07Speaker 5: like for in the morning, Billy, you must have been out,
- 10:09Speaker 5: you know, late, as this is the last night. Guys,
- 10:12Speaker 5: I'm officially calling it. I still can't wait. I can't
- 10:14Speaker 5: believe that anyway. Point being, I know how the noise
- 10:16Speaker 5: complaint situation works, Billy, So if you get a noise
- 10:18Speaker 5: complain we're just gonna have to take over here and
- 10:20Speaker 5: find a two box and make this thing work.
- 10:22Speaker 2: But well, yeah, and we'll figure it out trying to.
- 10:24Speaker 5: Make it work. Until you do, maybe you have to
- 10:25Speaker 5: get to the bathroom or do something. I'm not really
- 10:27Speaker 5: sure you know, well.
- 10:28Speaker 3: And I had I had some grand plans of potentially,
- 10:31Speaker 3: you know, road tripping here on the three days and
- 10:34Speaker 3: just kind of moving around the complex.
- 10:36Speaker 4: Because you're right, it is a complex. It's uh, it's
- 10:40Speaker 4: fifty five plus community or whatever. I don't I don't
- 10:43Speaker 4: necessarily know that there's like a number on it. However,
- 10:47Speaker 4: I'm learning. I'm ducking because you know, the folks are awaking.
- 10:49Speaker 4: I don't want them to hear me through that.
- 10:51Speaker 3: It's really really fun because it's almost like a big
- 10:53Speaker 3: grown up high school.
- 10:55Speaker 5: Oh yeah, that's what the that's what these situations, that's
- 10:58Speaker 5: what you would love this place.
- 11:01Speaker 3: You would love how everybody knows everything about everyone. Everyone's
- 11:04Speaker 3: got a nickname. Everyone walks up and no one no
- 11:07Speaker 3: one's Hunter. Right, it's HB four because he actually lives
- 11:13Speaker 3: in uniform. So that's why HB four. I get it, okay, Uh,
- 11:19Speaker 3: you know Red because he pulled the fire alarm one time.
- 11:23Speaker 4: WHOA one time?
- 11:25Speaker 3: Like it is impressive how as much as we grow
- 11:31Speaker 3: and as much as we evolve as a species and
- 11:34Speaker 3: matures and mature at least two out of the three
- 11:39Speaker 3: on the box half, like you start to realize we're
- 11:42Speaker 3: always going to go right through into the exact same
- 11:44Speaker 3: thing we did growing up, because that's.
- 11:46Speaker 4: What we're comfortable with.
- 11:47Speaker 3: And guess what, that's why we like reality television because
- 11:50Speaker 3: it's fun to talk about other people's lives and try
- 11:52Speaker 3: to live symbiotically arm and through other folks that are
- 11:55Speaker 3: living right now, coinciding right next to you in time.
- 11:58Speaker 5: Oh absolutely that that's specifically what it is about our humanity,
- 12:02Speaker 5: and we do. We do find that humans need connection somewhere.
- 12:07Speaker 5: They need that that connectivity, they need to build those relationships.
- 12:10Speaker 5: And I have often heard and I remember why, I
- 12:13Speaker 5: don't know where I watched it. It was some it
- 12:15Speaker 5: was something on retirement communities or something like how it
- 12:18Speaker 5: can be a very comforting experience to live there because
- 12:22Speaker 5: it is like the community they get had, and the
- 12:23Speaker 5: young it's not like they grew up like as in
- 12:25Speaker 5: a high school and everyone's like you had the popular kids,
- 12:28Speaker 5: you had the pranksters, you had the nerdy kid, you
- 12:30Speaker 5: had the kind of the artsy kid, and that can
- 12:33Speaker 5: be the way it is in these type of communities.
- 12:35Speaker 2: Billy.
- 12:35Speaker 5: So I'm pretty excited about that, and I'm excited that
- 12:37Speaker 5: you're going to spend the week there doing the show
- 12:39Speaker 5: obviously here, you know, with us and Hunter stepping in
- 12:42Speaker 5: this week, but then gonna be able to spend some
- 12:44Speaker 5: time down there with the folks and all that stuff.
- 12:46Speaker 2: It's a fantastic thing.
- 12:47Speaker 5: Billy, and I know you guys were probably hard down
- 12:50Speaker 5: watching Daytona. If you got there in time. I'm not
- 12:53Speaker 5: really sure if you did. That's awesome. So hey, listen,
- 12:57Speaker 5: it's it's it's gonna be an awesome week. It's gonna
- 12:59Speaker 5: be an exciting week, and we've got a lot to
- 13:01Speaker 5: talk about. Actually, unbelievably, in the third week of February
- 13:04Speaker 5: allowed to talk about him.
- 13:04Speaker 4: Yeah, it really is.
- 13:05Speaker 3: It really is fun because it also comes into a
- 13:08Speaker 3: perfect time. We have a key Waskam or west Bend
- 13:12Speaker 3: all right right now, already already the heat is happening.
- 13:16Speaker 3: On the talking text line, Patrick and west Bend said,
- 13:19Speaker 3: Jordan Stole's winning two golds so far for I thought,
- 13:22Speaker 3: he said, for us so far. I didn't know if
- 13:23Speaker 3: we were already having a battle for possession. He is
- 13:26Speaker 3: Wisconsin's Jordan Stoles and he was lightning there on Saturday morning,
- 13:31Speaker 3: arm and that was phenomenal to see him take home
- 13:34Speaker 3: that one because as much as when I threw it
- 13:37Speaker 3: into the winning edge and it was the only thing
- 13:38Speaker 3: that won on the winning edge of the Pottawatomi Sportsbook,
- 13:41Speaker 3: shockingly armand did give me the little couch hunter of listen.
- 13:46Speaker 3: He's definitely the best, but he definitely might not win. Well,
- 13:50Speaker 3: that's a great prediction, he said, he might not. He
- 13:53Speaker 3: might not go on the fastest lap. Like, well, that
- 13:56Speaker 3: doesn't does that mean he's gonna lose?
- 13:57Speaker 4: Well, he could could, but he might win. He's he
- 14:00Speaker 4: might win, he should win, he might win. He could win.
- 14:03Speaker 8: Well, so I went with it, and.
- 14:04Speaker 4: Armin, he said, another Olympic record for him.
- 14:08Speaker 5: And that's why you you got it at minus one
- 14:10Speaker 5: thirty four. I mean, I wasn't like kidding around here.
- 14:12Speaker 5: It wasn't like some minus eight hundred. Gimme now in
- 14:16Speaker 5: the next race.
- 14:17Speaker 4: Part.
- 14:18Speaker 5: No, he's a bigger favorite now it was. I can't
- 14:21Speaker 5: pronounce his name. I think it's the Booz de Boose.
- 14:23Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 14:23Speaker 5: It's the Dutch, the Dutch skater. That is sort of
- 14:26Speaker 5: like do you remember the year what was the year
- 14:28Speaker 5: that we had the triple crown winner American pharaoh. It's
- 14:30Speaker 5: a little horse racing for you, where's wyn Larva win? Yeah,
- 14:35Speaker 5: more recent than that, but you had justified winning second
- 14:38Speaker 5: every time. That was the time that they said, if
- 14:40Speaker 5: it was any other year this, this other horse would
- 14:43Speaker 5: have won first. And that's the same with the Dutch
- 14:45Speaker 5: skater because he's really good and he's the one guy
- 14:47Speaker 5: pushing Jordan Stultz. If Jordan happened to not be the
- 14:50Speaker 5: best in the world and it was a close race,
- 14:51Speaker 5: if you guys had watched it, I'm not.
- 14:53Speaker 2: Sure if you did. The five hundred were super close.
- 14:55Speaker 5: The the reason I thought this was gonna be a
- 14:58Speaker 5: closer race, Billy, was because the Dutch skater was it
- 15:02Speaker 5: was really good in the first two laps in the
- 15:04Speaker 5: one thousand, so that was his chance to win the
- 15:06Speaker 5: five hundred, and it was super close.
- 15:08Speaker 8: Was awesome, But what a great race by Jordan Stultz.
- 15:11Speaker 5: In the Olympics, guys, where I would say some of
- 15:13Speaker 5: the American favorites have not been able to live up
- 15:15Speaker 5: to the pressure.
- 15:16Speaker 8: And I hate to say that, but that's the reality.
- 15:18Speaker 5: Had not been able to live up to the pressure,
- 15:20Speaker 5: have caved a little bit when the whole world is
- 15:22Speaker 5: watching and the weight of expectations are on their shoulders.
- 15:25Speaker 5: Jordan Sultz is pushing back the weight of all his
- 15:28Speaker 5: expectations with the best races he's skated. Uh, continuing to
- 15:32Speaker 5: be the best in the world that he is. And Uh,
- 15:35Speaker 5: it's just an impressive and a delight to see our
- 15:38Speaker 5: own hometown hero carrying on the speed skating legacy of Wisconsin,
- 15:42Speaker 5: of course.
- 15:43Speaker 9: You know.
- 15:43Speaker 5: And we had it with Dan in a nineteen eighty
- 15:47Speaker 5: with the with the greats that we've had.
- 15:49Speaker 8: So it's been fantastic to watch.
- 15:51Speaker 5: And it's I saw a Poloono tweet about how good
- 15:55Speaker 5: this kid is his He said that Jordan's ability to
- 15:59Speaker 5: manage the forces in the turns is unlike anything he's
- 16:02Speaker 5: ever seen.
- 16:03Speaker 8: I saw Dan Jansen do an interview.
- 16:04Speaker 4: Said he's he's a Packers fan. Of course he can
- 16:06Speaker 4: handle g force.
- 16:07Speaker 8: Thank you very much, right, Billy perfect.
- 16:11Speaker 2: Just fantastic.
- 16:12Speaker 5: I saw Dan Jenson give an interview, said there's never
- 16:14Speaker 5: been anyone better at his age.
- 16:16Speaker 2: He's never seen anything like it.
- 16:17Speaker 5: So some pretty high praise from the greats, and he's
- 16:19Speaker 5: carrying on the legacy and he's got the double already now.
- 16:23Speaker 5: In nineteen ninety two, when Bonnie Blair won the double
- 16:25Speaker 5: two golds that that's enough for her to get her
- 16:27Speaker 5: own sandwich a McDonald's.
- 16:28Speaker 4: All right?
- 16:29Speaker 8: It was the Bonnie Blair Bagan.
- 16:30Speaker 2: Double, all right?
- 16:31Speaker 5: Now, I was a fantastic, fantastic sandwich and commercial which
- 16:35Speaker 5: i'll play here in a second. George Saltz is getting
- 16:38Speaker 5: his own item at McDonald's. I don't know if it
- 16:40Speaker 5: still works. I think he should hunt her why not
- 16:43Speaker 5: the snackrap and he's going for a couple of.
- 16:45Speaker 2: Jordan's Stoles mcflurry.
- 16:48Speaker 3: Well see, I would love that to be the case,
- 16:51Speaker 3: and it probably should have some kind of dairy in it,
- 16:53Speaker 3: him being from Wisconsin.
- 16:54Speaker 8: True, true, But but I was.
- 16:56Speaker 4: Wondering with it.
- 16:57Speaker 3: Would it be something at like I don't know, insert
- 17:01Speaker 3: health establishment here? Is he going to get his own
- 17:03Speaker 3: like athletic Greens like version here? I like the fact
- 17:07Speaker 3: that it would still be at McDonald's, and I hope
- 17:09Speaker 3: that we're still in a world where.
- 17:11Speaker 4: He can be at McDonald's. But I'm just not positive
- 17:13Speaker 4: that that's the case, right.
- 17:14Speaker 3: I mean, can we can we still believe that Jordan Stoles,
- 17:17Speaker 3: when he's doing his rock like cheat day is saying,
- 17:20Speaker 3: you know what, give me a big mac and two
- 17:24Speaker 3: large fries because those things are still addictive to the
- 17:27Speaker 3: fifteen hundred meter Arman. Yes, Jordan Stole's minus two thousand
- 17:32Speaker 3: at sports book.
- 17:33Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a super high favorite in that one, and
- 17:35Speaker 5: I you know, I expect the more of the same
- 17:37Speaker 5: with him there. There apparently isn't the level of competition
- 17:41Speaker 5: for him, or at least the Potto Oatomi sports book
- 17:43Speaker 5: doesn't believe.
- 17:44Speaker 1: So.
- 17:44Speaker 8: In the fifteen hundred, I believe is fourth that.
- 17:47Speaker 5: That would be mass start, which is yes, right, mass start,
- 17:51Speaker 5: which is kind of is that when.
- 17:52Speaker 2: Everybody starts at the same time, they.
- 17:55Speaker 3: All just and it just it's a separation of power.
- 17:58Speaker 3: It's just whoever lasts the longest.
- 17:59Speaker 2: No pause, but that doesn't crash.
- 18:01Speaker 8: But that's different than Team Pursuit, which is a team which.
- 18:04Speaker 3: I army, which I saw this week, and uh, you know,
- 18:09Speaker 3: I knew you were going to be hanging out with
- 18:10Speaker 3: your family.
- 18:11Speaker 4: I knew you were gonna be doing some things. Sure,
- 18:13Speaker 4: I needed it explained to me. Like I didn't.
- 18:15Speaker 3: I could not understand what I was watching because it
- 18:18Speaker 3: actually looked like we were trying to form a human
- 18:21Speaker 3: race car that was going around the track.
- 18:24Speaker 4: It was hilarious to watch.
- 18:26Speaker 3: I was a big fan of it, and I appreciate
- 18:28Speaker 3: the team aspect. I don't know that made a whole
- 18:31Speaker 3: lot of sense. I don't know exactly why, but it
- 18:33Speaker 3: was interesting to watch on that team pursuit. That's the
- 18:35Speaker 3: first time I've ever seen it. Yeah, don't know why
- 18:38Speaker 3: it exists, don't know who came up with it.
- 18:40Speaker 4: Glad he did because it was interesting.
- 18:42Speaker 5: Team pursuit is a weird deal, guys, because it's a
- 18:44Speaker 5: team event. It's a team of right, it's a team event,
- 18:47Speaker 5: but it's not like a relay like we're gonna see
- 18:49Speaker 5: a short track coming up, right, guys, the relay where
- 18:52Speaker 5: they bump in and out, but they're all it's sort
- 18:54Speaker 5: of like synchronized skating where they're all skating together.
- 18:57Speaker 8: Yes, and and and the time you know, you get time.
- 19:00Speaker 5: I'm by the last guy that crosses right, so that's
- 19:04Speaker 5: when that that's when the time goes right. So it's
- 19:08Speaker 5: that's how you get scored. And so because of that,
- 19:12Speaker 5: they want to stay in tanem they the guys in
- 19:14Speaker 5: front have to know the guys in back are still there.
- 19:16Speaker 5: So because that they're all touching each other, you know,
- 19:18Speaker 5: So it's like a whole like synchronized situation.
- 19:21Speaker 3: It is like a dance. It's a dance, right, So
- 19:23Speaker 3: it's a very interesting the Olympic. It's the Olympic version
- 19:25Speaker 3: of the huddle it is.
- 19:27Speaker 2: That's exactly what it is.
- 19:29Speaker 3: What does the open say, Let's make sure we're touching ourselves,
- 19:32Speaker 3: smelling each other's breath.
- 19:33Speaker 4: You got to do that in team pursuit, you gotta
- 19:35Speaker 4: be huddled up. You got to know where you're at now.
- 19:37Speaker 3: I don't know exactly if you have an anchor, right like,
- 19:40Speaker 3: because you can't have anybody separating from everybody. It's probably
- 19:43Speaker 3: it's probably a lineup of Hey, you three are really good,
- 19:47Speaker 3: middle of the pack. Why don't you guys run together,
- 19:49Speaker 3: because then we know that you'll stick together. I mean,
- 19:51Speaker 3: I was very interested in it. I don't know that
- 19:55Speaker 3: I gave.
- 19:55Speaker 4: It as much love and credit as it deserve.
- 19:58Speaker 8: But that's okay.
- 19:59Speaker 4: Maybe we do that.
- 20:00Speaker 3: Maybe we did that for the NBA All Star Game
- 20:02Speaker 3: as well, which surprisingly wasn't the worst thing anybody watched
- 20:06Speaker 3: last night.
- 20:06Speaker 4: So we'll get into that.
- 20:07Speaker 3: We got game balls and kicks to the balls queued up.
- 20:10Speaker 3: Hunter Bomb Guard is here. The Brewers are in Arizona.
- 20:14Speaker 3: Full squad workouts start up this week. They will play
- 20:16Speaker 3: games at the end of the week, and we got
- 20:18Speaker 3: a lot to discuss when it comes to the Milwaukee Brewers.
- 20:21Speaker 3: Can't wait to do some of that and appreciate Dreaming
- 20:24Speaker 3: mentioned that it's five am and you all shaped yea,
- 20:27Speaker 3: how about that? I even got a little five o'clock shadow, right.
- 20:29Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a business deal. This is we're here
- 20:31Speaker 5: for work. We're about business. We're here, We're at our
- 20:33Speaker 5: business meeting is five am. We're here showed up, ready
- 20:36Speaker 5: for work. That's that's how you operate business on a Monday, right, Tail.
- 20:40Speaker 5: This is serious business, absolutely, so.
- 20:43Speaker 3: Hunter getting indoctrinated into the morning show. Arman, did you
- 20:46Speaker 3: grab glazers for the young man?
- 20:48Speaker 4: You know what?
- 20:48Speaker 5: Unfortumate did not get any glazers. That's okay, I'm sorry, Hunter.
- 20:52Speaker 5: We really should.
- 20:52Speaker 8: We're going to hear the billiing this week.
- 20:54Speaker 4: Right everybody else, that's fair. That's fair.
- 20:57Speaker 8: I guess you really should. Yeah, it really is. Take
- 20:59Speaker 8: care of you here.
- 21:00Speaker 2: Yeah, there was pretty desolate around the megaplex so far
- 21:04Speaker 2: this morning. But I know it'll, you know, as we
- 21:06Speaker 2: get towards six o'clock. It's going to liven up for sure.
- 21:10Speaker 4: For sure.
- 21:10Speaker 3: Yeah, more like nine Yeah, for sure, for sure it
- 21:14Speaker 3: livens up at some particular point. We're bright and live
- 21:17Speaker 3: here this morning, live and local, starting up at five
- 21:20Speaker 3: am and can't wait for it. We got a ton
- 21:22Speaker 3: to discuss here on the nicolay lo dot com talking
- 21:25Speaker 3: text line as well. Patrick in West bencin Stilt's worst
- 21:29Speaker 3: event was the five hundred, so.
- 21:31Speaker 4: As long as army, so he gets better with time.
- 21:35Speaker 3: Yeah, he's almost like us where our third hour is
- 21:37Speaker 3: the best one when we welcome in Chris Boster.
- 21:39Speaker 8: That's absolutely right.
- 21:40Speaker 5: So if he's if he's getting the gold still in
- 21:42Speaker 5: his most I would say worst is the weird way
- 21:45Speaker 5: to say it, but it's true. It was his most
- 21:47Speaker 5: precarious event where he could have lost. Then yeah, that's
- 21:50Speaker 5: a great sign, right, that's a great sign. A chance
- 21:52Speaker 5: to go four for four, then four for four and
- 21:54Speaker 5: nearly meet match the record by the great Madisonian Eric
- 21:58Speaker 5: Heiden in nineteen eighty who went five for five.
- 22:01Speaker 2: That'll never be done again. Guys, no one.
- 22:03Speaker 5: I don't think any anybody is ever gonna skate five
- 22:06Speaker 5: much less.
- 22:06Speaker 4: I was just gonna say anybody gonna get into five races.
- 22:08Speaker 8: No, I don't know. But that's well.
- 22:10Speaker 5: You talk about speaks getting legacies in the state of Wisconsin.
- 22:13Speaker 5: It starts and ends with Derek Hayden, obviously, but uh,
- 22:15Speaker 5: Jordan sult Is writing his chapter.
- 22:17Speaker 2: Guys, let's do it.
- 22:19Speaker 4: It is going to be a fun one. It's gonna
- 22:20Speaker 4: be a great day. We're gonna get into game balls
- 22:22Speaker 4: and kicks to the balls. Dolph is gonna stop in
- 22:24Speaker 4: with us.
- 22:24Speaker 3: We're gonna have a fountain, which we're gonna realize just
- 22:28Speaker 3: how potentially loud it is. Uh, my mother has urged,
- 22:32Speaker 3: has given me quite a few reminders that thing's gonna
- 22:35Speaker 3: get loud.
- 22:36Speaker 4: That thing's gonna get loud.
- 22:37Speaker 3: I thought it adds a little ambiance. I thought it
- 22:39Speaker 3: would be a little exciting. We're gonna learn it all together.
- 22:42Speaker 3: We're live here in the Grapefruit League. From Fort Myers, Florida,
- 22:47Speaker 3: all the way to Wisconsin. What what did our friend
- 22:49Speaker 3: Ted Davis used to say? From Key Wascomb to Kenosha,
- 22:53Speaker 3: from Chippewa Falls to Portage.
- 22:57Speaker 4: The huddle is on the air.
- 22:59Speaker 3: There would always be a couple arman with some alliteration,
- 23:02Speaker 3: and then there would be one just wild card right
- 23:05Speaker 3: at the end. From Baraboo to Eagle River. We're ready
- 23:09Speaker 3: to roll with you. We got you state wide, ten
- 23:12Speaker 3: seventy Fox Sports in Madison, it is Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin,
- 23:16Speaker 3: nine to twenty in Milwaukee, Hunter Bobguard is in for

- 23:33Speaker 8: And as always, her family is right behind her.
- 23:35Speaker 10: Funny, can you pick up the taste ray?
- 23:38Speaker 2: Now you can go for your own double McDonald's bacon,
- 23:41Speaker 2: double cheese. Burda Deluxe is here for a limited time only.
- 23:44Speaker 5: It's too all beat petties, cheese, bacon, lettuce, and tomato.
- 23:48Speaker 8: It's a big value for just a dollar ninety nine.
- 23:52Speaker 10: They get this excited when I want to go old.
- 24:09Speaker 4: Welcome back.
- 24:10Speaker 3: As we huddle up here on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin,
- 24:13Speaker 3: Bonnie Blair brings us back and uh, now you want
- 24:16Speaker 3: to talk about value, that's all goodness. I'm sorry, And
- 24:19Speaker 3: first off, great job catching.
- 24:20Speaker 2: That Allah speak of all.
- 24:22Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
- 24:23Speaker 3: One ninety nine was what I was paying for a
- 24:26Speaker 3: mcdouble when I was rolling over to McDonald's skipping first
- 24:30Speaker 3: hour because I had well, second hour because I had stats.
- 24:33Speaker 3: First hour, study hall. Second hour slept right through. Stats
- 24:35Speaker 3: that didn't matter. Study Hall was the one that we
- 24:37Speaker 3: were actually missing and going out and having breakfast during Yes,
- 24:41Speaker 3: all right, right, he needed to be getting these prices
- 24:43Speaker 3: back going here because I just went there.
- 24:44Speaker 4: I think it was four bucks.
- 24:45Speaker 8: It's expensive.
- 24:46Speaker 4: Now.
- 24:47Speaker 5: I'm glad you asked, Billy, because I know you didn't.
- 24:48Speaker 5: I know you all want to hear this, right, I'm
- 24:50Speaker 5: glad you asked because I'm sorry, the ratio of the
- 24:52Speaker 5: price increase for the last ten years to the twenty
- 24:55Speaker 5: years previous is not correct. Now, right there, we get
- 24:58Speaker 5: a Bonnie Blair bacon double fine sandwich for what. But Billy,
- 25:03Speaker 5: as you said, we were going, we were going through
- 25:05Speaker 5: the drive through with them at getting mcdoubles and mcchickens
- 25:08Speaker 5: for a dollar. You know, we're gonna tell our kids,
- 25:10Speaker 5: the guys about those deals, like our parents and grandparents
- 25:13Speaker 5: told us about penny candy. I mean, that's our penny
- 25:15Speaker 5: candy right there. I mean, but you tell me that
- 25:17Speaker 5: one up three times, it's like four bucks, not for mcdouble.
- 25:21Speaker 8: That's not right.
- 25:21Speaker 5: I'm sorry, that's not right, and I'm not saying it
- 25:23Speaker 5: should be federally legislated, but I mean I was. I
- 25:26Speaker 5: was about to sue McDonald's one day. I was about
- 25:29Speaker 5: to I was about to file suit with the corporation
- 25:33Speaker 5: one day when we saw how much some of these
- 25:35Speaker 5: prices have gone up. That's just a whole total side ran.
- 25:38Speaker 5: But yes, it was a great deal. And I had
- 25:40Speaker 5: to find the commercial for everyone that asked, actually nobody asked,
- 25:43Speaker 5: but I just wanted to find him myself.
- 25:45Speaker 4: Well, I'm really ready, and we asked.
- 25:46Speaker 3: We asked, did you hire potentially Jerome Tang's lawyer or
- 25:50Speaker 3: Kansas States lawyer for that lawsuit?
- 25:53Speaker 8: I did not. Let's get into this one, right, guys.
- 25:55Speaker 3: I don't know if you, I don't know if everybody
- 25:57Speaker 3: was following this throughout the day. And we're gonna get
- 25:59Speaker 3: into game balls and kicks the balls into the second hour.
- 26:01Speaker 3: We got Dolph stopping by early early nomine me uh
- 26:06Speaker 3: in a conversation that is only out of college sports.
- 26:09Speaker 4: In twenty twenty five is twenty six. Pardon me.
- 26:14Speaker 3: Jerome Tang, head coach of formerly Kansas State Wildcats Baslletball,
- 26:21Speaker 3: was informed Sunday night that Kansas State is firing him
- 26:28Speaker 3: for cause. This is Pete Thamil's reporting at ESPN. For
- 26:31Speaker 3: his contract, they owe him eighteen point sixty seven million dollars.
- 26:34Speaker 4: I mean, what's an extra six hundred and seventy thousand
- 26:36Speaker 4: amongst friends?
- 26:37Speaker 9: Call it?
- 26:38Speaker 4: Call it nineteen million.
- 26:39Speaker 3: Just add in an extra three hundred thousand, Just call
- 26:42Speaker 3: it nineteen million?
- 26:42Speaker 2: How much?
- 26:43Speaker 8: Six seveny?
- 26:43Speaker 4: You said?
- 26:44Speaker 8: Really quick? How much was this?
- 26:45Speaker 5: Six six seven six seven, oh yeah, six seven? Hey,
- 26:49Speaker 5: what's an extra seven hundred amongst friends? Ask Corbyn Burns.
- 26:52Speaker 4: That's a great question.
- 26:53Speaker 2: There you go. That was. That was the radio version
- 26:55Speaker 2: of a mic drop. He swung the mic the side
- 26:59Speaker 2: that was and then it's on a screen.
- 27:02Speaker 3: I'm glad you elite visual as Armin is transitioning from
- 27:07Speaker 3: a solely listen I get you guys are TV stars
- 27:10Speaker 3: now after being on the Crowsey Show, I realize that
- 27:13Speaker 3: you are adding the visual elements to your repertoire.
- 27:16Speaker 4: I'm glad you're doing that.
- 27:18Speaker 3: Per sources the basis for the firing of Tang for
- 27:23Speaker 3: cause his language in his contract that refers to any
- 27:27Speaker 3: activity that brings public embarrassment, ridicule or disrepute.
- 27:35Speaker 8: Now my favorite word there now, m I thought.
- 27:37Speaker 3: It would and I did have to go in and
- 27:41Speaker 3: you know, Webster disrepute, and I think it might be
- 27:45Speaker 3: one of my favorite things I've ever actually found when
- 27:49Speaker 3: asking what the definition of something is, the state of
- 27:53Speaker 3: being held in low esteem.
- 27:55Speaker 4: By the public.
- 27:57Speaker 3: As an example they give you is one of the
- 28:00Speaker 3: top clubs in the country is close to bringing the
- 28:03Speaker 3: game into disrepute.
- 28:06Speaker 4: So hold on. So what you're saying is you, as Matt.
- 28:11Speaker 3: Lapay said on this program on Friday, you can be
- 28:14Speaker 3: guilty of any charges. You can be in trouble for
- 28:18Speaker 3: just about anything except for one fatal flaw.
- 28:23Speaker 4: Do not lose.
- 28:24Speaker 3: Do not lose because Jerome Tang, you are so embarrassing
- 28:28Speaker 3: to Ozarman. Sorry, and we're one and eleven in the
- 28:30Speaker 3: Big twelve Conference. Get his ass out of here. And
- 28:33Speaker 3: this cannot be allowed. If we are going to roll
- 28:36Speaker 3: in here and be one and eleven in conference, you're
- 28:38Speaker 3: gonna have people making fun of us. Listen, we can
- 28:41Speaker 3: lose basketball games. We can not go to the Elite
- 28:45Speaker 3: eight like we did in your first year. And Jerome
- 28:47Speaker 3: Tang was apparently everyone's favorite that year because he's dancing
- 28:50Speaker 3: in the in the locker room.
- 28:51Speaker 8: After everyone loved him, all exciting.
- 28:54Speaker 3: And my man now rolls up saying, I'm embarrassed for
- 28:59Speaker 3: the university.
- 29:00Speaker 4: That was horrible. That was a horrible effort. And they said,
- 29:02Speaker 4: you know what, Actually.
- 29:03Speaker 3: You're horrible, boss, get out of here, and you're not
- 29:06Speaker 3: getting any money, Arman. That was hilariously wild out of
- 29:09Speaker 3: college basketball.
- 29:10Speaker 2: It really was.
- 29:11Speaker 5: And it's certain things you don't know what to expect
- 29:13Speaker 5: the reaction to. Sometimes I feel like I try and
- 29:16Speaker 5: get the pulse of reactions. Sometimes I don't know. I
- 29:18Speaker 5: didn't know people were going to rally around Tang and
- 29:20Speaker 5: they or they weren't. And I realized more often than not.
- 29:23Speaker 5: And this was as he was getting fired yesterday and
- 29:25Speaker 5: I'm reading some reaction on it, and unda at.
- 29:28Speaker 8: You throwing your thoughts here in a second.
- 29:30Speaker 5: But my thought was I thought maybe he'd get a
- 29:32Speaker 5: little more support, and I didn't realize he was not
- 29:35Speaker 5: going to because he really.
- 29:36Speaker 8: Didn't from what I saw in general.
- 29:38Speaker 5: And I realized it was basically for one reason and
- 29:41Speaker 5: one reason only, and it's to what you just said, Billy,
- 29:45Speaker 5: It's not really because they didn't like the way he
- 29:47Speaker 5: smoke at the presser.
- 29:48Speaker 8: Not because he swore, he didn't swear.
- 29:51Speaker 5: No, not because he you know, said something like you
- 29:55Speaker 5: know he did something against the law or got in trouble.
- 29:58Speaker 8: No, it's because he lost it. Wasn't a good enough coach.
- 30:02Speaker 5: And there are more than a few accounts, case state accounts,
- 30:05Speaker 5: and I saw say, like, good riddance.
- 30:07Speaker 8: This guy was never a good coach. He caught a
- 30:10Speaker 8: lucky break in twenty three. We caught a heater and
- 30:13Speaker 8: he's stunk. And I've been saying, don't you love these guys?
- 30:15Speaker 8: Right then it's say I've been saying it for three years.
- 30:18Speaker 5: Yes, it's like of the floor whenever, you know, if
- 30:20Speaker 5: one day he gets fired, everyone will say I've been
- 30:22Speaker 5: saying this for how long that he should And you're right.
- 30:25Speaker 5: It's like are you winning for me or not? And
- 30:27Speaker 5: there's a local element to this. But I'll get your
- 30:29Speaker 5: thoughts on on this. But I thought that was interesting.
- 30:32Speaker 5: It was I mean, I I was also looking at
- 30:34Speaker 5: some of the reaction. Nick Bateman, who is a college
- 30:37Speaker 5: basketball guru, as it says here on his social media,
- 30:41Speaker 5: Yes exactly, and apparently he has a good TikTok as well,
- 30:45Speaker 5: but either way, it said Jerome Tang had perfect pr
- 30:49Speaker 5: just three years ago, knew he was a fun, new
- 30:51Speaker 5: rising star and coaching right, he had the dance going
- 30:54Speaker 5: for him. A lead eight run turned a five to
- 30:57Speaker 5: seven kid into a superstar, helped kan say Johnson turned
- 31:00Speaker 5: into a star after multiple heart problems, and then three
- 31:03Speaker 5: years later he doesn't have a job. It's how quickly
- 31:06Speaker 5: things change in the college sports landscape right now. And
- 31:09Speaker 5: to me, this kind of seems like Kansas State, you know,
- 31:12Speaker 5: being like, yeah, we want to change direction, and.
- 31:14Speaker 2: Oh, this is a perfect opportunity. After he went out
- 31:17Speaker 2: on Wednesday and said these dudes did not deserve to
- 31:20Speaker 2: wear this uniform, it goes, okay, this we could Oh,
- 31:25Speaker 2: they're looking around at each other yesterday and going this
- 31:27Speaker 2: could be maybe maybe they might take it to court.
- 31:30Speaker 2: They might not, but we could at least try to
- 31:32Speaker 2: get him for cause here. And then they go out
- 31:35Speaker 2: and they do it, and we'll see if it holds up,
- 31:38Speaker 2: and we'll see what Tang ends up doing and what
- 31:40Speaker 2: settlement they probably get to and all that. But it's
- 31:43Speaker 2: so I think it's an excuse for Kansas State to
- 31:45Speaker 2: be able to make this move. But it again shows
- 31:48Speaker 2: the state of college sports where you just go you
- 31:49Speaker 2: can go from so high to solo in such a
- 31:52Speaker 2: quick amount of time.
- 31:53Speaker 5: Yeah that cause thing is is is kind of a
- 31:56Speaker 5: little shady business. They're going to try and get away
- 31:57Speaker 5: with doing it with the cost thing without throwing they
- 32:00Speaker 5: I'll put you know what, believe that's just.
- 32:01Speaker 8: The way it is now.
- 32:02Speaker 5: And there's another important factor in this is that k
- 32:05Speaker 5: State was one of the teams that gave a good
- 32:07Speaker 5: amount of resources to their program to go build a
- 32:09Speaker 5: team in the nil era. And the thing is, you know,
- 32:12Speaker 5: when you get all those resources and you don't pick
- 32:15Speaker 5: the right guys because on the flip side, we see
- 32:17Speaker 5: how well Greg Guard's done it right handling the portal
- 32:20Speaker 5: with the program guys, but picking the correct transfers, but
- 32:23Speaker 5: not just paying for those guys, but analyzing the right players,
- 32:26Speaker 5: you know, talent evaluation, the right players that are actually
- 32:28Speaker 5: gonna play well. When you get a lot of resources
- 32:30Speaker 5: and you don't pick the right guys, and then you
- 32:32Speaker 5: roll up and say these are the wrong guys to
- 32:34Speaker 5: the program, you just hold on yourself.
- 32:36Speaker 8: You just hold on yourself because you're no longer just
- 32:39Speaker 8: a coach and recruiter.
- 32:39Speaker 5: I mean, you've always been a recruiter in college sports,
- 32:41Speaker 5: but as you guys know, now you're like a GM
- 32:43Speaker 5: as well. Right now you're handling the budget in terms
- 32:46Speaker 5: of what kind of resources am I getting? And you
- 32:49Speaker 5: better pay the right free agents. It better not be
- 32:51Speaker 5: Albert Haynesworth. They're picking your NFL free agent. That's stunk.
- 32:54Speaker 8: That's your better not be. I'm sorry, Bobby Simmons, you.
- 32:57Speaker 4: Know what I mean.
- 32:59Speaker 5: You know, you know you have to spend the money wisely,
- 33:01Speaker 5: and they gave him resources and this team didn't win,
- 33:04Speaker 5: and then this was They're like, you know what, I
- 33:07Speaker 5: think you brought up a good point, mister Tang.
- 33:09Speaker 8: I don't think these guys is of the uniform.
- 33:11Speaker 5: I think you picked him, and I think therefore you
- 33:13Speaker 5: can hand in your quarter zip.
- 33:15Speaker 3: That was exactly it, Arman, that was exactly it. He goes,
- 33:17Speaker 3: you know what, Actually, we are going to fire all them.
- 33:19Speaker 3: But while we're at it, we're going to fire you're
- 33:21Speaker 3: ascue too. And I think my favorite part of it
- 33:23Speaker 3: is that you just mentioned it and you can correct
- 33:25Speaker 3: me if I'm wrong.
- 33:26Speaker 4: And and somebody checked me on the talking text line.
- 33:28Speaker 3: For sure. They gave this dude Coleman Hawkins, right, the
- 33:32Speaker 3: kid from with the cool hair from Illinois who was
- 33:36Speaker 3: like a good player. Again, maybe I'm wrong. I don't
- 33:40Speaker 3: know that he was a Nasmith Hall finalist, right, Like
- 33:43Speaker 3: I don't know that he was ever going to be
- 33:44Speaker 3: the best player in college basketball. They gave him like
- 33:47Speaker 3: two million bucks they to leave Illinois after he had
- 33:51Speaker 3: put his name into the draft, and they're like, hey,
- 33:53Speaker 3: how about you don't go, here's cash advanced.
- 33:57Speaker 4: Yeah, everybody's going for two million bucks. You can me
- 34:00Speaker 4: he was.
- 34:01Speaker 3: He was just at the Illinois game and people were like, yeah,
- 34:04Speaker 3: we we like him because he left, got paid, didn't
- 34:07Speaker 3: play nearly as well as he did when he was
- 34:09Speaker 3: at Illinois in a group, and then cashed out. So
- 34:14Speaker 3: I would love to know arm and how high k
- 34:16Speaker 3: State was on on the list well paid out there
- 34:25Speaker 3: some of Mike.
- 34:25Speaker 5: Someonere Mike woke up in a in a panic because
- 34:28Speaker 5: we don't know very very happy. We don't know the money,
- 34:31Speaker 5: but we do know he was given a lot of money.
- 34:35Speaker 3: He was given a lot of money, and I got
- 34:37Speaker 3: I got one prediction on all this.
- 34:39Speaker 4: He's going to get all.
- 34:40Speaker 3: Of his money, like k State is going to lose
- 34:43Speaker 3: in this. However, Hunter, you brought up something that I
- 34:45Speaker 3: had not thought of, and thank you very much for
- 34:47Speaker 3: doing it. Now I have the visual and the image
- 34:50Speaker 3: and the thought of all these cats in the boarder
- 34:53Speaker 3: room saying, all.
- 34:54Speaker 4: Right, we need to get rid of this guy. How
- 34:56Speaker 4: are we going to do it? That's exactly are we
- 34:59Speaker 4: going to do it?
- 34:59Speaker 1: Well?
- 35:00Speaker 3: I mean he kind of insulted the players over here
- 35:03Speaker 3: boom four.
- 35:04Speaker 4: Cause problem that's on him. He's he's he's that.
- 35:09Speaker 3: In twenty years ago, what Jerome Tang said at the
- 35:13Speaker 3: press conference is everyone's favorite piece of audio from a
- 35:18Speaker 3: college coach all year.
- 35:20Speaker 5: That's the thing.
- 35:20Speaker 2: He totally flipped around.
- 35:22Speaker 4: Yeah, it's what everybody wants to hear.
- 35:24Speaker 3: But now in the Niel era, you're like, oh man,
- 35:26Speaker 3: we can't have this guy. He can't be insulting these players.
- 35:29Speaker 3: There's no way we're gonna get good ones coming up
- 35:31Speaker 3: in the portal. And it is a crazy, crazy flip
- 35:34Speaker 3: up circum And.
- 35:35Speaker 5: When he talked about loving case date and how he
- 35:37Speaker 5: loves Kse date and they don't, I think he I
- 35:39Speaker 5: think he probably thought and I could have seen it
- 35:42Speaker 5: happen because things have changed, like he said.
- 35:44Speaker 8: I think he probably thought that was.
- 35:45Speaker 5: Gonna win him, win him some allies in the fan
- 35:49Speaker 5: base and the administration by saying, look, this guy's sticking
- 35:51Speaker 5: up for what we love and what we believe in,
- 35:53Speaker 5: which is case State, and he's reckoning. He's getting mad
- 35:56Speaker 5: at the you know, he's validating my feelings that these
- 35:58Speaker 5: guys aren't playing hard enough for the Purple. And it
- 36:00Speaker 5: didn't go like that, and I actually thought what would
- 36:03Speaker 5: save him? And I told you, guys, this is he
- 36:05Speaker 5: stuck up with the student section. Man. He goes, I'm
- 36:07Speaker 5: embarrassed from our student section. I'm like, yeah, let's go. Well,
- 36:10Speaker 5: they that section stand up.
- 36:13Speaker 4: We were here exactly.
- 36:15Speaker 5: Because I mean when we were in the student section,
- 36:17Speaker 5: we were always letting them know like we're the ones
- 36:18Speaker 5: out here. Someone's stick up for us. We're important to
- 36:21Speaker 5: the program. You know, we bought every every line they
- 36:23Speaker 5: sold us on that one. So that was I think,
- 36:26Speaker 5: I think, kind of funny. But hey, you know what,
- 36:29Speaker 5: it's interesting because maybe there's something to what he was saying,
- 36:31Speaker 5: like they paid all these guys and they're not playing well.
- 36:33Speaker 5: You have to wonder, now guys getting paid in college,
- 36:36Speaker 5: are they just gonna have like contract years like we've
- 36:38Speaker 5: seen in pro sports, where once they get their money,
- 36:41Speaker 5: they're a little more you know, relaxed, maybe not as hungry.
- 36:43Speaker 1: You know.
- 36:44Speaker 8: Maybe there's something to that, maybe there isn't.
- 36:45Speaker 5: But I did think that the collection of talent they
- 36:48Speaker 5: assembled would be better. But these aren't all star teams,
- 36:51Speaker 5: and I don't know. Maybe it's more money, more problems.
- 36:53Speaker 5: I'm not really sure.
- 36:55Speaker 2: It might be. They're one and eleven in the Big
- 36:57Speaker 2: twelve this year. I mean, it's one thing to go
- 37:00Speaker 2: you know, five hundred, they're ten and fifteen overall. But yeah,
- 37:04Speaker 2: you know, the administration, I think I think he probably
- 37:07Speaker 2: was thinking maybe I'll win some of the administration. But
- 37:09Speaker 2: the administration is like, well, we paid all those players
- 37:12Speaker 2: that you're calling out a lot of money and we
- 37:16Speaker 2: so that's a problem. You know, if you're calling them out,
- 37:18Speaker 2: we're gonna have to We're gonna want these types of
- 37:21Speaker 2: players in the future. We're gonna want to pay him
- 37:23Speaker 2: in the future. And it doesn't sound like he's going
- 37:25Speaker 2: to be the guy to be leading them. In fact,
- 37:27Speaker 2: he won't.
- 37:27Speaker 3: It's also why fascinating to see the shift in timing
- 37:32Speaker 3: right like there's a lot of talk again down the hall,
- 37:35Speaker 3: probably on the season changing, right like I saw, I
- 37:39Speaker 3: saw that big story, Like it feels like we have
- 37:41Speaker 3: shifted a whole month. That's that's college's bulls calendar in
- 37:45Speaker 3: terms of hiring and firing, right Like you you damn
- 37:48Speaker 3: near have to have your next coach by the time
- 37:51Speaker 3: the tournament ends. Yeah, it's crazy because you're gonna have
- 37:54Speaker 3: to get into the into the portal. I think it's
- 37:55Speaker 3: in the sweet sixteen, right, So, and we talked about
- 37:58Speaker 3: it a lot in college football. Well we'll talk about
- 38:00Speaker 3: it in college basketball once it gets here.
- 38:02Speaker 4: The timing is all messed up.
- 38:04Speaker 3: There's a lot of reasons for this, but it's a
- 38:06Speaker 3: cycle that's going to continue to turn. And I know
- 38:08Speaker 3: Armond's gonna smile with this. College basketball is catching up,
- 38:12Speaker 3: I mean, is it's catching up, and it's catching up,
- 38:15Speaker 3: and how much I'm gonna watch it's catching up in
- 38:17Speaker 3: the competitives, competitiveness night in and night out.
- 38:20Speaker 4: And as much as the conversation around the sport might.
- 38:23Speaker 3: Never get worse, it might be and stocks against it
- 38:27Speaker 3: has been guess what, the games are better than they've
- 38:30Speaker 3: ever been.
- 38:31Speaker 4: So I'm not upset about it.
- 38:33Speaker 3: I'll enjoy it and I'll allow the smart people to
- 38:35Speaker 3: figure that one out. You mentioned there's a local element
- 38:37Speaker 3: to it, Armand we got to take a time out
- 38:39Speaker 3: so we can play in the entirety. The local college
- 38:42Speaker 3: coach last night who lost it not on his own players,
- 38:46Speaker 3: but on a very very common theme. And the first
- 38:49Speaker 3: kick to the balls on a game, balls and kicks
- 38:51Speaker 3: to the balls Monday to officials at all levels. And
- 38:55Speaker 3: one other about officiating well with Doug Gottlieb's rant last
- 38:59Speaker 3: night after the Green Bay and Milwaukee contest that transpire
- 39:03Speaker 3: great game, great game epic rant, like a great game

- 39:46Speaker 4: a fan, he said.
- 39:48Speaker 2: His wife's not a fan either.
- 39:49Speaker 4: Because he's a handsome. He needed because he's handsome.
- 39:52Speaker 8: Yeah, you got to mix it up a little bit.
- 39:54Speaker 8: It doesn't yeah, but makes.
- 39:56Speaker 4: You Yeah, thank you, hunter, thank you.
- 39:59Speaker 3: I appreciate this, and I think this is where, sorry,
- 40:02Speaker 3: we're gonna get to the important stuff off. Doug Gottlieb's
- 40:04Speaker 3: rant here in a moment game balls and.
- 40:05Speaker 4: Kicks the balls.
- 40:06Speaker 3: But like when I gotta I got a good barometer
- 40:08Speaker 3: of that's a handsome guy. More that dude's not very
- 40:12Speaker 3: good looking. Well like I got the very very ends
- 40:15Speaker 3: of the spectrum. Joey Ortiz, handsome guy, good looking, good
- 40:18Speaker 3: looking cat. We gotta get that stuff off his face,
- 40:20Speaker 3: armin great looking guy when he has the beard.
- 40:25Speaker 8: I appreciate that.
- 40:26Speaker 4: Pretty good looking.
- 40:27Speaker 3: Dude without one, I mean, okay, okay without one, but
- 40:30Speaker 3: definitely elite with one. So we gotta we got to
- 40:33Speaker 3: pick and choose our spots. We gotta pick and choose
- 40:35Speaker 3: our spots. As to when you blow up on officiating.
- 40:39Speaker 3: Doug Gottlieb picked maybe the perfect spot. Last night, UWGB
- 40:44Speaker 3: loses a thriller to Milwaukee, and Doug Gottlieb has a
- 40:48Speaker 3: message for the Horizon League after.
- 40:50Speaker 9: I need the league to explain to me.
- 40:53Speaker 7: I need the league to explain to me why I
- 40:55Speaker 7: got a technical foul when I was I did not curse,
- 40:59Speaker 7: I was not demonstrative, I did not leave my box.
- 41:03Speaker 7: All I said was, that's the same play as the
- 41:05Speaker 7: other end.
- 41:06Speaker 9: Okay. All we ask is that there's a fair game.
- 41:10Speaker 9: That's what we ask. Okay. CJ O'Hara goes.
- 41:13Speaker 7: And gets an offensive rebound, their player dives at his legs.
- 41:16Speaker 7: CJ gets called for a foul. I need Donnie at
- 41:19Speaker 7: the league and the new commissioner to explain to me
- 41:22Speaker 7: the disparity in the officiating. That's what I need explain
- 41:25Speaker 7: to me. I got no problem with with their team,
- 41:30Speaker 7: their staff. They played hard, they did what they do,
- 41:32Speaker 7: They played tough, and they play aggressive.
- 41:34Speaker 9: I need somebody to explain to Mekay.
- 41:36Speaker 2: How how just those two.
- 41:39Speaker 7: There's others that I have massive issues with gay others
- 41:42Speaker 7: that have mess including every time we touched them. There
- 41:44Speaker 7: was a foul in the second half, the last play
- 41:46Speaker 7: of the game, just to get the ball.
- 41:48Speaker 9: They're grabbing us and holding us.
- 41:49Speaker 7: Kay, And again, I understand if you're not calling that,
- 41:52Speaker 7: that's fine. You had the exact same play at both
- 41:54Speaker 7: ends in the last play of the game, the.
- 41:55Speaker 9: Exact same playing.
- 41:59Speaker 8: The exact same player.
- 42:01Speaker 7: So I need the new commissioner of the Horizon League
- 42:03Speaker 7: to explain to me what a technical foul is. When
- 42:06Speaker 7: I don't leave the box, I don't curse, I'm not demonstrative. Okay,
- 42:10Speaker 7: there is nothing, nothing, that should have been called a
- 42:12Speaker 7: technical foul. I know when I earned one, I did
- 42:15Speaker 7: not earn one, and the CJ play were up six points.
- 42:18Speaker 7: That dramatically change the trajectory of the game. He is
- 42:21Speaker 7: our best defender, he's one of our best players. He
- 42:24Speaker 7: picked up his fourth foul collecting an offensive rebound when
- 42:27Speaker 7: a guy falls into his legs.
- 42:29Speaker 9: Okay, all we ever ask is fair. Okay.
- 42:32Speaker 7: And I'm not talking about thirty seven to eighteen in
- 42:35Speaker 7: free throw attempts. They that's how they play. They shoot
- 42:38Speaker 7: and go get it fine whatever, Okay. What I'm asking
- 42:40Speaker 7: is three things. Okay, I'm asking how it's technical foul
- 42:44Speaker 7: when I don't curse, Hey, when I wasn't demonstrative because
- 42:48Speaker 7: you're not allowed to point to the screen or mine
- 42:50Speaker 7: something that's happening, didn't do that, didn't leave the coaching box,
- 42:53Speaker 7: wasn't on the floor. Those are all the things you
- 42:54Speaker 7: get technical foul for not saying that's the same call
- 42:57Speaker 7: at the other end, okay. And CJ O'Hara collecting an
- 43:00Speaker 7: offensive rebound and what's the freshman, he's a good player,
- 43:04Speaker 7: Steve Elam diving for the loose ball, okay and falling
- 43:07Speaker 7: into his legs, and c J o'harrah gets called.
- 43:10Speaker 9: For a foul okay.
- 43:12Speaker 7: And then the last play of the game, which I'm
- 43:14Speaker 7: willing to say, hey, our end, you don want to
- 43:16Speaker 7: call foul, all right, kind of drove into traffic whatever.
- 43:19Speaker 7: It's the exact same play as the other end. Could
- 43:21Speaker 7: not be more similar, and yet every time they drove
- 43:24Speaker 7: in there it was foul, and every time we did
- 43:26Speaker 7: it was mixed.
- 43:27Speaker 9: It was mixed.
- 43:29Speaker 7: Nope, nope, and King Wehgstone called the call the technical foul.
- 43:34Speaker 9: He avoided me the rest of the game.
- 43:36Speaker 8: That's not right, okay.
- 43:37Speaker 7: I was not combat in any way, Okay, I did
- 43:40Speaker 7: not curse one single time. I was not on the
- 43:42Speaker 7: court one single time. I was not out of my
- 43:44Speaker 7: box one single time. I was not on the court
- 43:46Speaker 7: one single time. You tell me, Okay, that's all I'm asking.
- 43:52Speaker 4: You tell me, that's all I'm asking.
- 43:55Speaker 3: A bunch of parts in there, and maybe the first
- 43:57Speaker 3: of the.
- 43:58Speaker 4: Game balls to Doug Gott.
- 44:00Speaker 8: We'll get through the epic rants after the game.
- 44:02Speaker 4: We'll get through all of it. But right there is
- 44:05Speaker 4: he speaking in every sport.
- 44:07Speaker 3: Because I know maybe I'm being prisoner of the moment.
- 44:12Speaker 3: I feel like I've never heard more people gripe about
- 44:15Speaker 3: officiating than here.
- 44:16Speaker 4: In twenty twenty six, we'll get into an hour.
- 44:19Speaker 3: Number two hundred bomb guards right there, armand Sarian is
- 44:21Speaker 3: Olympic dout. I'm Billy Schmid. You're huddled up with us
- 44:24Speaker 3: on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
